The Earth Still Hollow?

(New Haven, 2006-present)

I
will say nothing of the people who continued to believe that the earth
was hollow, long after the Poles had been charted. I will not mention
the German technicians who, in 1942, constructed a telescopic camera on
the island of Rügen, which pointed 45° into the sky. It would
have been able to detect the British Fleet from very far off—if
it turned out that the Earth was concave, and we, unwitting Symzonians,
were living on the inside of it. I will not speculate on their state of
mind, as they watched the sky for ships. I will not wonder whether they
were happy people, or disappointed people, or something in between.
